On the 29th December 2006, the
Southampton Vikings and supporters got together on the temporary outdoor ice pad
in the centre of Southampton for a reunion skate around. After so many years it
was difficult to find, invite and encourage the vast majority to turn out in
weather that was typically British, wet and windy. Those who did make it all
enjoyed themselves, no one fell over but all had aching muscles, and we all got
wet!

The main participants were Nick
Drew, Simon Tipper, Gordon Murray, Simon Coleman and Mark Smith, almost enough
for one line at least! Jill White could have given additional support in defence
and Caroline Golding and myself could have tended the goal.

The reunion was hastily organised
by Nick Drew and thanks should go to him for that. Thanks to all of those who
managed to get there and I hope it will be remembered along with all the other
fond memories we have of the best time we all lived and played together and
hopefully we will all do so again in the future.
